I found out that it really depends on the width of the strings next to each other and the size of the frets on the fretboard. for an example Fender's and Gibson's are a great guitar if you have long skinny fingers. , but because of my fingers are kinda fat it is really hard to play bar chords on without the other strings getting muted so i chord sound dosen't ring out right. So i Bought a ESP guitar with wider space between the strings and wider frets because of my fingers spread out span. and i can play much easier. So basically it really depends on the guitar and the price for the quality and the comfort of playing the guitar right and reducing alot of mutes on bar chords and mistakes that can happen on other guitars.

Just my opinion, hope it helps out:P
